Companies in Singapore could soon be penalised for severe discrimination at workplaces, as part of new legislation tabled in Parliament. The Workplace Legislation Bill was first mooted in 2021 and will cover all employment decisions, from hiring to dismissals. Under the proposed laws, firms cannot discriminate against workers on five types of characteristics, including age, nationality and sex. Authorities said these make up more than 95% of complaints today. A second bill will also be introduced next year, which will cover the rights and processes for private claims. The Workplace Fairness Legislation will be implemented by 2026 or 2027.
